The Nation : Storms Drench Houston

Thunderstorms rumbled through Texas, flooding Houston streets with up to four inches of rain and clogging them with stalled cars. The storm washed out one Houston freeway underpass with six feet of water, forcing people who drove into it to swim out. Showers fell in Arkansas and Tennessee and rain mixed with snow fell from the Great Lakes and eastern Pennsylvania to New England. Dense morning fog was reported across southern Mississippi, southern Georgia and central Florida but skies were mostly clear from the middle and upper Mississippi Valley to the West Coast.
